Sky Flower - Kuuge

Japanese: 空華 - くうげ
Sky Flower - Kuuge
A Buddhist term. A flower that appears to exist in the air. All phenomena in the world are essentially insubstantial, but this term is used to refer to the mistake of not correctly recognizing this and thinking that they exist as if they have substance. In other words, this refers to the flower that, when suffered from a certain type of eye disease, appears as if it exists in the air, even though it does not actually exist.

仏教用語。空中に存在するとみられる花。現象世界のすべての事象は本来実体のないものであるが,それを正しく認識せず,あたかも実体をもって存在しているかのように考える誤りをたとえるのに用いる。すなわち,ある種の眼病にかかると,実際存在しない花が空中にあたかもあるかのように見えるという,その花のこと。
